A new study on ice thickness of glaciers has estimated that glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayas might contain 27% less ice than previously suggested
A new study by Australian and American researchers reported in journal Water Resources Research has confirmed that increased extreme rainfall events do not necessarily lead to increased floods
A team of researchers have unraveled the imprints of the sea level fluctuations and climate change that may have occurred along the coastal river of Saurashtra region in India’s west coast over the past 1.5 lakh years
The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in India appear to be going up, as projected by various scientific assessments on climate change. But it may not be right to connect every such event with climate change, as pointed out by a new study on the recent Kerala floods
Scientists are literally looking into the ground for clinching evidence of climate change. A new study of geothermal records across India has shown that the country has experienced about one degree of warming over the baseline mean temperature of the nineteenth century
The Department of Science and Technology has established a center of excellence on climate change research for plant protection at the Hyderabad-based International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. Its objective will be to help make agriculture more resilient to vagaries of climate change.
The latest report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, formally released on Monday, warns that global warming is occurring faster than anticipated and that it can have devastating impacts if steps are not taken to cut down emissions
A new study has suggested that the Indian government must consider changes occurring due to climate change while planning new hydropower projects.
Indian scientists at NIOT and School of Engineering at Vels University have developed a new sensor for measurement of ocean temperatures.
Climate change is posing a challenge not only to agricultural crops but also to livestock. In order to sustain rural livelihoods, it is critical to identify livestock breeds that are climate resilient.
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels may spark a shift towards wetter winters and drier summers warn a new study based on evidence from climatic history preserved in 65 million-year-old oyster shells.
A gradual change in temperature and rainfall patterns in Darjeeling hills is beginning to affect the production of the famous Darjeeling tea.
A new study on climate change in India has confirmed a rapid rise in surface temperatures in the past 70 years.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday forecast that the monsoon this year will be normal, with rainfall of 97 percent of the long period average (LPA) with an error of plus or five percent.
Yak – the lifeline of pastoral nomads in high altitudes of the Indian Himalayan region – is facing the threat of gradually rising temperatures in the region.
Here is more evidence why we need to worry about climate change. A new study says extreme rainfall events are on the rise in India and attributes the trend to man-made emissions, what scientists call anthropogenic warming.
Tomato, a vegetable crop grown worldwide, is facing significant losses in productivity due to environmental factors like drought, floods, salinity, and heat.
For a long time now, historians have been using epigraphy to infer the political and economic aspect of the past. In recent times, astronomers have come to realize that it can be a potent tool to also understand the history of astronomy as well as for inferring minute changes in the motion of Earth.
Small actions by everyone in their day to day lives can help meet the challenge posed by climate change, Minister for Science & Technology and Environment Dr. Harsh Vardhan has said.
Climate change impacts are being felt in many parts of the country, as manifested in erratic rainfall, extreme weather events and changes in cropping patterns. Adapting to these changes at the farm and household levels is critical.
The fight against environmental pollution could soon witness a paradigm shift, with a new study showing that domestic sewage is increasingly becoming a major source of Nitrogen pollution.
Rising temperature, erratic rainfall, and occurrence of moderate drought are beginning to impact food production in Nagaland. In order to meet the challenge of climate change, the state is now turning to its forgotten resource
